Question

what are prokaryotes? a prokaryote is a single - celled organism that does not have a nucleus. even though they have no nuclei, prokaryotes do have dna. bacteria and archaea are prokaryotes. many prokaryotes have flagella (singular, flagellum) that help them move. these are some characteristics of prokaryotes: no nucleus, dna shaped like a twisted rubber band, no membrane - covered (or membrane - bound) organelles, a cell wall outside the cell membrane. prokaryotic cell. what are eukaryotes? eukaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than bacteria cells. eukaryotic cells are still very small, and you need a microscope to see most of them. eukaryotes are organisms made of eukaryotic cells. they can have one cell or many cells. yeast, which makes bread rise, is an example of a eukaryote with one cell. plants are eukaryotes with many cells. eukaryotic cell. take a look 4. identify label the parts of the prokaryote with the following terms: dna, flagellum, cell membrane, cell wall. math focus 5. calculate most of the smallest prokaryotic cells have diameters of about 1 micron. what do you expect is the diameter of the smallest eukaryotic cell? take a look 6. identify what does this cell have that a prokaryotic cell does not?

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the relationship

Eukaryotic cells are about 10 times larger than bacteria (prokaryotic) cells.

Step2: Set up the calculation

If the diameter of the smallest pro - karyotic cells is about 1 micron, and eukaryotic cells are 10 times larger.
Let \(d_{p}\) be the diameter of pro - karyotic cells (\(d_{p}=1\) micron) and \(d_{e}\) be the diameter of eukaryotic cells. The relationship is \(d_{e}=10\times d_{p}\).

Step3: Calculate the diameter

Substitute \(d_{p} = 1\) micron into the formula: \(d_{e}=10\times1 = 10\) microns.

Answer:

10 microns
